Discussionist poll #2. Digging a bit deeper....

38. I have thought this concept was a good idea for a long while.

Why not let the admins make some money off of it, and give the opposition a place to congregate where all ideas are exchanged in a halfway civil environment?

It beats the constant and continuous infiltration. Over there, the "rules" are that differences of political opinion are part of the site's purpose. The "civility" part will be interesting, though--I think we'll see more generic name calling across the board because those righties really love to do that kind of thing--they can't help it, it seems.

There is something to be said for clans with a C, not a K--one is nurtured and supported within that kind of structure. That said, people are going to want to try their ideas out on the other team, and no one has an easier and more navigable web product than our guys. THEY might as well be the ones to make some dough off of the enterprise. If they don't do it, than the clunky sites like Huffpo and POLITICO (and they have curiously corporatist agendas) will get all the traffic. It's way easier to "discuss" using our admins' software.
